Val at Lakeland

Val has been fighting a very aggressive cancer, which started as ovarian. In late June 2008, she was told by the doctors that
they could do nothing further, and to go home and wait to die.

PRAG took an offering to send Val and her family to Lakeland, in the hope that God would heal her through the Lakeland
healing outpouring. About 7:45 into this clip, Val is prayed for by Todd Bentley.

For any skeptics who are not certain that Todd Bentley's healing ministry is of the Lord, let me share this additional testimony: a lady from PRAG (our church) was completely healed of an incurable blood disease after a Lakeland-related encounter, about one month ago, and this healing was medically documented (doctors confirmed the disease beforehand, and its absence after the fact). We hope to be able to share more about this story soon. We have also seen a number of other healings at our church in the last few years. So we have plenty of reason to trust that God can heal Val too. Our Lord is good and faithful, and we know Jesus commanded His disciples to heal the sick, raise the dead, and deliver all who are oppressed. If He commanded it, He certainly made it possible, and God never changes. He heals and delivers today.

what is the status if Val now? Is she healed? I hope so!

As soon as I have anything to report, I'll post it here.

It was a very touching, important moment in time. I will seriously keep that in my "best memories ever". haha. It was amazing...

I'm happy to share that the circumstances of Val's passing were very powerfully anointed, with many family members hearing the Gospel, and some returning to relationship with the Lord. There was also a powerful story of Val seeing an angel in her room, letting her know he was sent to bring her home - a wonderful witness to God's grace letting her know that He loved her and welcomed her home. If you knew the struggles that Val had during her life, you'd understand how important that moment was.

Val died about a month ago. This does not mean that she did not recieve healing though. Healing comes in many ways, hers was going to heaven...having a new body. What's a better healing than being with God? lol. We miss her very VERY much, but take comfort in this: Through the kingdom of heaven, there is NO DEATH. We will see her again. Thank you for your prayers. They have been answered :)

Actually, that's not a good interpretation of my statement. In fact, we know that Christians can be OPPRESSED - bothered and attacked by the enemy. However, I believe they can not truly be possessed, which is very different.

You say "not caused by demonic activity" - a pretty bold claim. How do you KNOW this? Christ's healing ministry often focused on casting out oppressive spirits. If we are to follow His lead, perhaps we should pay closer attention to spiritual causes that we usually do.

Note to everyone: several very angry, accusatory comments have been posted. Sorry, that's not appropriate for a video showing hope and faith for healing for a very sick woman.

I'll be happy to hold a civil, peaceful discussion about Todd Bentley's ministry. We know it's controversial, and the discussion is certainly worth having. But having it by accusation and insult is not going to help. So if you post a serious comment with useful questions, I'll approve it. Otherwise, it WILL be deleted.

The biggest problem with this statement is that now every sick person who claims salvation should now question their salvation, since it is an oppression of the devil. Not all sickness, in fact most sickness is not caused by demonic activity.

How do you judge a "move of God"? I believe that the Bible says by several measures, including its fruit. I have attended Lakeland and seen for myself, and my "discerner" says "Yes, Lord". And its fruit is sweet - many being healed (verifiably), many being saved, many being delivered. Why would the enemy cast himself out, and heal those he is oppressing? I encourage all to visit personally before passing judgement. Be very careful not to grieve the Holy Spirit by calling His truth a lie.

"Isn't it possible, with all the dubious 'anointings' and angels and manifestations associated with Bentley's ministry, that what we are really seeing is a giant 'counterfeit' revival? Isn't it possible that if it the revival continues to grow at the present rate, that it may literally become one of the great delusions of the Last Days a great deception that has the power to actually deceive, if possible, the very elect?" quote from revivalschool dot comm Learn2Discern.
